While a corneal thickness of 475-485 microns in each eye with a -9 diopter prescription might seem borderline for LASIK, it's crucial to understand that corneal thickness is only one factor in determining LASIK suitability. A comprehensive eye exam is needed to assess your overall eye health and the specific needs of your vision correction
